Parenting alone?


My husband, Glenn, left this morning for a trip. He is going on an adventure of riding through the Grand Canyon on dirt bikes. I am very excited for him, it will be a once in a lifetime event! But I don't particularly care when he is gone, I am not cut out to be a single mom. Glenn keeps me calm. When I get all worked up, he brings me back to earth. When my strength is zapped, he gives me relief. We always make it when he is gone, but I wonder how many times I will screw up?


God and I had a talk this morning about this. I asked Him to be my Rock when I'm not strong. I asked Him to bring calmness to my soul. So instead of the anxiety that was bubbling up, I have peace. I know that God can help me through anything. I am assured of that. God is my strength! This has really made me realize, this is not a two-some raising two sons - it's a three-some! God loves my boys more than I even do. God can do immeasurably more than I ask or even imagine. I guess I always knew this but...I am learnin'.
